New Ship: Fluyt

Description
This mod replaces the the current Brigantine ship to a Fluyt.

A fluyt is a Dutch type of sailing vessel originally designed as a dedicated cargo vessel. Originating in the Dutch Republic in the 16th century, the vessel was designed to facilitate transoceanic delivery with the maximum of space and crew efficiency.
The fluyt was a significant factor in the 17th-century rise of the Dutch seaborne empire. In 1670 the Dutch merchant marine totalled 568,000 tons of shipping—about half the European total.

This ship makes some extra balance in the game by having a trading vessel that is also pretty strong aswell. It has the strength of a frigate and the amount of cargo of the galleon. It also has cannons in the back instead of some other ships that have cannons in the front so it can shoot back when chased down.

If you want to keep your normal windward username (for multiplayer aswell) instead an username only for mods or keep the brigantine instead of replacing it, you can add the Fluyt as a new ship.
Just follow the steps below:

1.Copy the Brigantine.bytes file In Steam\SteamApps\workshop\content. Then make a new folder in "My Documents/Windward" folder and call it Ships, put the Brigantine.bytes in there, rename it to Fluyt.bytes and put a txt file in the Ships folder aswell with the text from here https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IWcTa8Q54YaeDZ5I2TEQyEFWs8jjkSXx/view?usp=sharing . (copy/download it) and make sure it is named Fluyt.txt .


2. After that you start the game, unable mod Fluyt (if you don't have any mods selected it will still work in vanilla), open your server, typ: /upload Ships/Fluyt.bytes and then typ /set Ships/Fluyt.txt.
If you followed these steps it would keep both ships in-game. I couldn't make a mod that just does this straight away. Please send me a comment if you have a server with the ship installed because I like playing online.
Have fun with it and a rating is much appreciated!

Kind regards,

Yes, they randomly spawn across the world. The Fluyt is set to high level so you have to look in some higher level regions to find them. The Carrack is a bit lower level and are more common. When killing a ship there is a 10% chance of obtaining the blueprint.

i have added the fluyt and carrack like you instructed, where do you find blue prints are they random drops?
